Jack Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hello, I am trying to run Grand MA 3D on my Vista based laptop. After installing some missing dynamic-link library files and an of hour de-bugging I have had little joy! Anyone got any clues? Thanks for your help in advance, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oovis Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Maybe I'm just lucky but I installed 3D on my Vista laptop and it worked first time. Have you tried MA-Share.net yet? Click the discussion tab and have a search as there's a bit of Vista discussion around. The software authors are on there too so may be able to help with anything specific.

I'll have a look on there see if anything comes up! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew C Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 From my frequenting of a school IT site (no not embraced Vista yet) it seems that one of the principle problems is V won't let software write to C:\programs\GrandMa or whatever, but it insists that settings and configurations are written to C:\Documents and Settings\your user name. As a Mod, I'll just ask that we all keep this very much On Topic, or we'll set the dancing locks on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niax Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 C:\programs\GrandMa or whatever, but it insists that settings and configurations are written to C:\Documents and Settings\your user name. In terms of OS design, this is a great idea, just not a very backward-compatible one. You are correct in saying that the application will be denied writes to within Program Files, and this can be fixed on of 2 ways:1) When running the application, right click and select "Run as Administrator"2) Use this permissions guide on the Grand MA directory in Program Files 2 will be permanent, 1 you'll have to do on every launch. However, try 1 first to double check that the problem is with the permissions - if it works, then 2 will. Nicholas Hollett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
